City, Utah, testified Saturday
that he realized that two airlin

He testified as a Civil Aero
nautics Board panel sought to
wind up public hearings on the
crash that took 128 lives.
McCreary, operations special
ist for Aeronautical Radio Inc.,
which handles airways commun
ications for airlines, said he did
not notify either plane because
"nprmally our workload is such
that it is impossible for us to
offer such information."

of the CAB panel, questioned
McCreary closely on why he did
not advise either the Trans

World Airways or the United

plied that, "It is impossible to
furnish control instructions to
aircraft operating off airways,"
as both planes were when they
collided.
Not Required Information
McCreary also said he was not
required to furnish this infor
mation once the aircraft leave
the airways.
McDill suggested that' "If you
can't tell where they are. you
can't advise them." McCreary
answered: "That's right."
He said that by 11:13 a.m.

would be over the Painted Des

operating at about the same al
titude. Keith J. Thompson, a Salt

ed If he was "impressed" by the
tone of voice.
He said only that it was "a
little different from normal."
Lee Flanagin, assistant direct
or of operations for TWA's west
ern region at Los Angeles, said
his airline has "no instructions
for circling any location."
This was in answer to a ques
tion on airline policy on "sight
seeing" around such places as
Grand Canyon. Flanagin said
such movements would be up to
the captain in command of the
plane. He was questioned no
further on this point.
A TWA radio operator testi
fied about his last communica
tions with the TWA plane.
Kelton Ritter, Las Vegas,
Nev., recited the routine con
tacts he had with the plane and
with other communications cen

told of his futile efforts to
reach the plane after it failed
to report its position over the
Painted Desert.
Three other witnesses also de
scribed routine communications
with the planes after their de
parture from Los Angeles that
morning only three minutes
apart.
One of the three. James Hud
man, a CAA operations special
ist at Albuquerque, told of not
being able to contact the TWA
plane. He also said his station
was asked to pick up the air
craft on radar, but could not
do so when the craft did not
report over the Painted Desert.
The other two said they had
"normal and routine" messages
from the United plane, includ
ing an estimate of when it would
be over the desert.
